麻豆社 SSO - Bach, Vaughan Williams

Concert featuring the 麻豆社 SSO under Andrew Manze with Jennifer Pike (violin). Bach: Violin Sonata, BWV1001. Vaughan Williams: Symphony No 4; The Lark Ascending; Symphony No 5.

Live from City Halls, Glasgow

Presented by Jamie MacDougall

The 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra with their Associate Guest Conductor Andrew Manze explore the world of Ralph Vaughan Williams. His two contrasting Symphonies - the perhaps biographical, but certainly angry, angular and disturbing Fourth Symphony is played against his warmly sunlit, poetic and English Fifth Symphony. Between the two great symphonies, the pastoral balm of his famous Lark Ascending - the songbird played by outstanding young violinist Jennifer Pike. To start the programme she plays some of the greatest solo violin music by J.S. Bach - who was adored by Vaughan Williams.
